Climate Reporting 

I'm troubled by the horse-racey reporting on the continuous record breaking of previous temperature and precipitation maxima.

The story is not that limit has been exceeded, it's that the limit _can be_ exceeded, and is likely to be surpassed in the near future.

Reporting like this leverages a comforting idea that these record breaks are rare, so you can be relieved when they are "over."

The new story is to be actively working to stop the causes, sustainably adapt to these changes, and shelter those fleeing these changes. Related to this is that while certain populations are much more at risk for disaster than others, the climates extra energy and water can show up in "less vulnerable" places as well. In short, you are not off the list.

The weirdness of secondary effects: fire tornados, heat domes that just stay put and stay hot, overheated bathtub surface water temperatures, ice NOT growing in Antarctic seas really makes you tear up your Bingo card.
